Mateo 5
1 Zvino akati aona vanhu vazhinji, akakwira mugomo uye akagara pasi. Vadzidzi vake vakauya kwaari,
BUT when Jeshu saw the multitudes, he ascended a mountain; and when he had sat down, his disciples drew near to him;
2 uye akatanga kuvadzidzisa achiti:
and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
3 “Vakaropafadzwa varombo pamweya, nokuti umambo hwokudenga ndohwavo.
BLESSED (are) the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Vakaropafadzwa vanochema nokuti vachanyaradzwa.
Blessed the mourners, for they shall be comforted.
5 Vakaropafadzwa vanyoro nokuti vachagara nhaka yenyika.
Blessed the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Vakaropafadzwa avo vane nzara nenyota yokuita zvakarurama nokuti vachagutswa kwazvo.
Blessed they who hunger and thirst unto righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
7 Vakaropafadzwa vane tsitsi nokuti naivowo vachaitirwa tsitsi.
Blessed the merciful, for upon them shall be mercy.
8 Vakaropafadzwa vakachena pamwoyo, nokuti vachaona Mwari.
Blessed they who are pure in their hearts, for they shall see Aloha.
9 Vakaropafadzwa vanoyananisa nokuti vachanzi vana vaMwari.
Blessed the makers of peace, for the children of Aloha shall they be called.
10 Vakaropafadzwa vanotambudzwa nokuda kwokururama nokuti umambo hwokudenga ndohwavo.
Blessed they who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Makaropafadzwa imi kana vanhu vachikutukai, vachikutambudzai uye vachikupomerai zvakaipa zvose nokuda kwangu.
Blessed are you when they treat you with reviling, and persecute you, and say concerning you every evil word, for my sake, in falsity.
12 Farai mufarisise kwazvo nokuti mubayiro wenyu mukuru kudenga, nokuti nenzira imwe cheteyo vakatambudza vaprofita vakakutangirai.
Then be glad and exult, for your reward is great in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
13 “Imi muri munyu wenyika. Asi kana munyu usisavavi ungavaviswe nei? Hauchabatsiri chinhu, kunze kwokuti uraswe ugotsikwa zvawo navanhu.
You are the salt of the earth: but if it happen that salt become tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned? It goeth for nothing but to be thrown without and trodden down by men.
14 “Imi muri chiedza chenyika. Guta riri pamusoro pegomo haringavanziki.
You are the light of the world: It is not possible that a city which is built upon a hill can be hidden.
15 Uye vanhu havangatungidzi mwenje vagouisa pasi pedengu. Asi kutoti vanouisa pachigadziko kuti uvhenekere vose vari mumba.
Nor do they kindle a lamp and place it beneath a measure, but on a candlestick, and it enlighteneth all who are in the house.
16 Nenzira imwe cheteyo, chiedza chenyu ngachivhenekere pamberi pavanhu kuti vaone mabasa enyu akanaka, vagokudza Baba venyu vari kudenga.
So let your light shine before the sons of men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 “Musafunga kuti ndakauya kuzoparadza Murayiro kana Vaprofita; handina kuuya kuzozviparadza asi kuzozvizadzisa.
Think not that I came to loose the law or the prophets: not that I might loose, but that I might fulfill.
18 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi, kuti kusvikira denga nenyika zvapfuura, hakuna vara duku sei kana chimwe chinhu chiduku sei chichabviswa paMurayiro, kusvikira zvose zvazadziswa.
For, Amen I say unto you, that until heaven and earth shall pass away, one yod, or one point, shall not pass from the law, till all be done.
19 Asi ani naani anotyora mumwe chete wemirayiro miduku iyi uye achizodzidzisawo vamwe kuita zvimwe chetezvo achanzi muduku muumambo hwokudenga. Asi ani naani anochengeta uye anodzidzisa mirayiro iyi, achanzi mukuru muumambo hwokudenga.
Every one, therefore, who shall set loose one from these least commandments, and shall so teach the children of men, the least shall he be called in the kingdom of heaven: but every one who shall do and teach, this shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Nokuti ndinokuudzai zvirokwazvo kuti kana kururama kwenyu kukasapfuura kwavaFarisi nokwavadzidzisi vemirayiro, zvirokwazvo hamungapindi muumambo hwokudenga.
For I say to you, that unless your righteousness shall abound more than that of the scribes and the Pharishee, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 “Makanzwa zvakataurwa kune vanhu vekare zvichinzi, ‘Usauraya uye ani naani anouraya achatongwa.’
YOU have heard that it was said unto them who were before, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill is obnoxious to the judgment.
22 Asi ini ndinokuudzai kuti ani naani anotsamwira hama yake achatongwa. Uyezve ani naani anoti, ‘Raka’ kuhama yake achamiswa pamberi pedare ravatongi. Asizve ani naani anoti kuhama yake, ‘Iwe benzi!’ achapara mhosva yokuti atongerwe moto wegehena. (Geenna g1067)
But I say unto you, that he who is angry against his brother rashly, is obnoxious to the judgment; and he who shall say to his brother, Thou empty one! is liable to the council; and every one who shall say, Thou fool! is liable to the gihano of fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 “Naizvozvo kana wada kupa chipo chako paaritari, ukayeuka pakarepo kuti wakatadzira hama yako,
If it occur, therefore, that thou bring thy oblation to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother retaineth some enmity against thee;
24 siya chipo chako ipapo pamberi pearitari. Tanga waenda undoyanana nehama yako, wozouya wopa chipo chako.
leave there thy oblation at the altar, and go, first be reconciled with thy brother, and then come and offer thy oblation.
25 “Kurumidza kutenderana nomudzivisi wako uyo ari kukuendesa kudare. Ita izvi uchiri munzira naye, kana kuti angangokuisa kumutongi uye mutongi agokuisa kumutariri, uye ugokandwa mutorongo.
Be at one with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest thy adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exactor, and thou fall into the house of the bound.
26 Ndinokuudzai chokwadi kuti haungabudimo kusvikira waripa kamari kokupedzisira.
And, Amen I say unto thee, that thou shalt not come forth from thence till thou hast rendered the last shamuna.
27 “Makanzwa zvichinzi, ‘Usaita upombwe.’
You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.
28 Asi ini ndinoti kwamuri ani naani anotarisa mukadzi neziso roruchiva atoita upombwe naye mumwoyo make.
But I say to you, that every one who beholdeth a woman so as that he shall desire her, already committeth adultery in his heart.
29 Kana ziso rako rorudyi richikuita kuti utadze, ribvise urirase. Zviri nani kwauri kuti urasikirwe nomumwe mutezo womuviri wako pano kuti muviri wako wose ukandwe mugehena. (Geenna g1067)
But if thy right eye cause thee to offend, root it out and cast it from thee: it is better to thee that one of thy members should perish, than that thy whole body should fall into gihano. (Geenna g1067)
30 Uye kana ruoko rwako rworudyi ruchikuita kuti utadze, rucheke ururase. Zviri nani kwauri kuti urasikirwe nomumwe mutezo womuviri wako, pano kuti muviri wako wose uende kugehena. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right hand cause thee to offend, cut it off and cast it from thee; for it is better to thee that one from thy members should perish, rather than thy whole body should fall into gihano. (Geenna g1067)
31 “Zvakanzi, ‘Ani naani anoramba mukadzi wake anofanira kumupa gwaro rokurambana.’
It hath been said, that he who looseth his wife should give her a writing of divorcement.
32 Asi ndinokuudzai kuti ani naani anoramba mukadzi wake kunze kwemhosva yokusatendeka muwaniso anomuitisa upombwe, uye ani naani anowana mukadzi akarambwa anoita upombwe.
But I say unto you, that whosoever looseth his wife, except on account of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery; and whosoever taketh her who is sent away, committeth adultery.
33 “Makanzwa zvakare zvichitaurwa kuvanhu vekare kare zvichinzi, ‘Usatyora mhiko dzako, asi zadzisa mhiko dzose dzaunenge waita kuna Ishe.’
Again, you have heard it was said to those beforetime, Thou shalt not lie in thine oaths, but shalt fulfil thine oaths unto the Lord.
34 Asi ndinokuudzai kuti, Musatongopika: kunyange nedenga nokuti ndiro chigaro chaMwari choumambo;
But I say unto you, Swear not at all: not by heaven, for it is the throne of Aloha;
35 kana nenyika nokuti ndiyo chitsiko chetsoka dzake; kana neJerusarema nokuti ndiro guta raMambo Mukuru.
nor by earth, for it is the foot-stool beneath his feet; neither by Urishlem, for it is the city of the great king.
36 Uye usapika nomusoro wako nokuti haugoni kuita kuti bvudzi rimwe chete rive jena kana dema.
Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make a single hair in it either black or white.
37 Hongu yako ngaingova ‘Hongu’, ne‘Kwete’ yako ive ‘Kwete’; zvimwe zvinopfuura izvi zvinobva kuno wakaipa.
But let your discourse be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; for whatsoever is more than these is from the evil.
38 “Makanzwa kuti zvakanzi, ‘Ziso rinotsiviwa neziso, uye zino rinotsiviwa nezino.’
You have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39 Asi ndinokuudzai kuti, Musadzivisa munhu akaipa. Kana munhu akakurova padama rorudyi, murinzire roruboshwewo.
But I say unto you, that you shall not rise up against evil: but if any one strike thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Kana munhu akakukwirira kumatare achida kukutorera nguo yako, rega atorewo nejasi rako.
And if any one will contend with thee to take away thy tunic, leave him thy mantle also;
41 Kana munhu akakumanikidza kufamba mutunhu mumwe chete, famba naye miviri.
and if a man compel thee one mile, go with him twain.
42 Kana munhu akakukumbira chinhu, mupe, uye usafuratira munhu anoda kukwereta kwauri.
Give to him who asketh from thee, and him who would borrow from thee refuse not.
43 “Makanzwa kuti zvakanzi, ‘Ida wokwako, uvenge muvengi wako.’
You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 Asi ini ndinokuudzai kuti, Idai vavengi venyu, mugonyengeterera avo vanokutambudzai,
But I say unto you, Love your enemies; bless them who execrate you; do that which is good to him who hateth you; and pray for them who lead you with a chain, and persecute you.
45 kuitira kuti mugova vana vaBaba venyu vari kudenga. Ivo vanoita kuti zuva ravo ribude pane vakaipa nevakanaka uye vanonayisa mvura yavo pane vakarurama nevasakarurama.
That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who causeth his sun to arise on the good and on the evil, and who sendeth showers on the just and on the unjust.
46 Kana mukangoda avo vanokudai, muchawana mubayiro wei? Vateresi havaiti zvimwe chetezvo here?
For if you love those (only) who love you, what reward have you? do not even the tribute-gatherers this?
47 Kana muchingokwazisana nehama dzenyu bedzi, mungakunda vamwe pakudii? Ko, vasingatendi havaiti zvimwe chetezvo here?
And if you wish peace to your brethren only, what more do you than they? do not also the tribute-gatherers this?
48 Naizvozvo, ivai vakakwana, sezvo Baba venyu vari kudenga vari vakakwana.
Be ye therefore perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect!
